The last time I got excited and performed a dance in our World Layer, I actually managed to summon three space monster”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large rooster was excitedly recounting a story, its spit flying everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan just stood and listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grove world’s language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly had that thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange, why did I know that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Infinite Worlds Standard Dictionary was still letting out faint whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now that Gu Qing Shan understood, the large rooster was speaking in another language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was him from before, he wouldn’t have understood what the rooster was saying at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems like the blue book was doing its job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning countless languages in 100 breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What unimaginable potency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the owner of the book, which was himself, could hear its whispers. The book was helping Gu Qing Shan with learning the languages of all known civilizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan held the book a bit tighter as he continued to learn more languages while listening to the small talk between the rooster and the automatic machine gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m telling you, space octopuses are actually quite delicious, it’s a shame that there aren’t many chefs who could make that dish”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? How unfortunate, I haven’t tasted any space monster before” the automatic machine gun was a bit sorrowful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not? Space monsters are easy to catch aren’t they?” the big rooster wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I attack, everything would be destroyed, there’s no meat left to actually eat” the automatic machine gun sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what do you usually eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I buy food and cook for myself, or go to bars and restaurants, places like that for a quick drink and meal” the automatic machine gun answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good enough, some of those places have really good chefs”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the big rooster said so, he glanced over at the Demi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he lowered his voice: “Ah right, have you ever tried Divinity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The automatic machine gun spoke regretfully: “Divinities are the same, if I touch them they just turn to dust. I’m just not lucky enough to taste such things”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t you hold back a little?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only used 1\u002F10000th of my power, but they still turn to scraps”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Poor you” the big rooster said with an understanding tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, their gazes both fell onto the Demi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demi didn’t understand what they were saying, but instinctively took a bit more distance from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at him, a country bumpkin who can’t even communicate properly, he doesn’t even understand what we’re saying” the big rooster scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The automatic machine gun suddenly said: “There’s also another brat here, but he was brought in by the Keeper himself”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chicken and gun looked over to Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan smiled and greeted them: “Hello you both”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The automatic machine gun and big rooster were both a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he just spoke in Grove world’s language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brat understands us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both thought the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello” the rooster changed to another language and greeted him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The automatic machine gun also used another language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the same friendly tone as the rooster, he said something completely different: “What’s your name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without understanding anything, these two sentences would both seem like greetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had completely different meanings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan spoke to the big rooster: “Yes, hello”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Gu Qing Shan” he answered the automatic machine gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big rooster whistled, impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pronunciation of both languages were very standard and fluent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big rooster then smiled: “We were just talking about food just now, Gu boy, what’s your take on this subject?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I usually cook my own food, and I brew my own liquor as well” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah, seems like you’re quite confident in that” the big rooster was intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only looks about 20 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fluent in so many languages despite being so young; plus he was led in here by the Keeper himself, such a person wouldn’t have come from simple background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, a large ship slowly approached the lighthouse from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It docked directly adjacent to the lighthouse, hovering in mid air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spire KeeperAssociation’s old man stood at the head of the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would our guests please board the ship, we’re about to take off”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big rooster lightly jumped and flew onto the ship’s deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The automatic machine gun also slowly hopped aboard the ship along its plank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan just walked up the plank like normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone else had come aboard, the black cloaked Demi finally began to board the ship .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Demi appeared to be quite anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forward”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship began to move, gradually moving away from the lighthouse as it took to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stood hanging onto the railing of the ship, watching the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ocean waves began to swell violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some unknown point, the lighthouse had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black shadows that were standing around the lighthouse were also nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world began to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene was extremely familiar as Gu Qing Shan had just experienced it not too long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four guests just stared at the collapsing world and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship went into the space vortex, thoroughly leaving that world behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The automatic machine gun and big rooster paid no mind to this at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed to have gotten used to trips like these.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The automatic machine gun pulled the big rooster over to ask what octopus space monsters taste like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big rooster took some time to consider his words and started describing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked Demi stared closely at the old man, seemingly waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the old man turned around to look at the four guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, we’ve now begun our journey, please prepare your boarding fees” he politely and amiably told them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big rooster took out a chest engraved with numerous gems from out of nowhere and pushed it over to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man took the chest and only gauged it a bit in his hand without checking the content before putting it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Glad to do business with you” the old man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The automatic machine gun was currently trembling nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It let out a cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clank, clank!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gleaming metal bullet dropped onto the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that enough?” the automatic machine gun spoke with heavy breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man waved his hand to levitate the bullet over as he carefully examined it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the old man looked up and respectfully spoke: “It is a top-grade product, you paid more than enough for our boarding fee, please wait a bit as I get your change”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The automatic machine gun spoke altruistically: “No need, just prepare a barrel of Spire liquor for me in my room, you can keep the rest as a tip”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, thank you for your generosity” the old man smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, the Demi also took out a luxurious-looking small bag and handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man took the bag and lightly shook it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some metallic chimes came from the bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man scowled: “This isn’t enough”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloaked Demi gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped for a bit, seemingly hesitant on what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s expression turned irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please wait a second”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, the black cloaked Demi searched all over himself until he finally took out a small, intricately designed bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed and very unwillingly handed the bag over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man received the bag and estimated it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His scowl loosened and spoke: “Just enough, thank you for your business”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the black cloaked Demi breathed out like he had just been forgiven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was Gu Qing Shan’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>",1542,"2026-06-09T03:05:01.244Z",1,"novelbin.me","7f982739b838cabb83ea27d176b344492e3d811dc5da1ee3df7c0bc28b6e0951","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-482","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-480",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
